In grades PK-5 students use a program called PurposeFull People and students in grades 6-8 use CharacterStrong. These programs teach skills that will help students be successful in school and in life.

PurposeFull People has three main goals for students: Be Kind, Be Strong, and Be Well.

• Be Kind: Social skills like listening, friendship, solving conflicts, and leadership. These skills are taught alongside Empathy, Respect, & Cooperation
• Be Strong: Skills that help students focus, stay organized, and set goals. These skills are taught alongside Responsibility, Courage, & Perseverance
• Be Well: Skills that help students handle their emotions and deal with stress. These skills are taught alongside Gratitude, Honesty, & Creativity

Students will engage in lessons throughout the school day, but each week will focus on one core lesson. Each month, a trait will be emphasized and letters home will be shared in our newsletters about the skills being taught each month. Each letter will include some ways to build these skills at home, discussion starters, and fun challenges you can try with your family.

ELA (English Language Arts) instruction is designed to make learning visible by having students work through reading, writing, speaking, and listening activities daily. Our commitment as educators is to support our students with a mastery of the standards, allow for multiple and varying assessment opportunities to drive student learning, and provide high quality and research-based instruction for each and every student. 

Amplify Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) and Reading Horizons (RH) is the Board-approved curricular resource. CKLA is a program for Grades K–5 that combines a multi-sensory approach to phonics with rich texts carefully sequenced to build content knowledge so that students learn to read and read to learn at the same time.
